This book studies the exclusion and discrimination that is meted
out to Scheduled Caste (SC) students in the Indian Higher Education
system, and the psychosocial consequences of such practices. It
foregrounds the conceptual debates around caste, exclusion, and
reservations in Indian academia, discussing the social dominance
and the roots of prejudices in the university spaces. The volume
reflects upon the fragile social world in which students from the
margins struggle for survival in the academic space. It reveals
that these students navigate the various facets of academia - like
classrooms, pedagogy, scholarships, hostels, peer groups, and
teachers - only to find the academic space a dystopian universe.
The book also sheds light on suicide cases committed by the
marginalized groups as a testimony of protest. Based on in-depth
ethnographic research, this book will be of interest to teachers,
students and researchers of education, sociology, political
science, psychology, and exclusion studies. It will also be useful
for policymakers, social activists, NGOs, research centers, and
those working in higher education, reservations, public policy,
caste, and exclusion studies.
